To start a TWELFTH thread that nobody responds to?

[AverageGayLad]

See that? A Twelfth. Not the.

Welcome to the twelfth (it DOES look a weird word ) thread that nobody responds to! We're a fun bunch, the most fun on mumsnet!! I cba to list everyone and who they are, but I'm sure newbies will get to know us through our posts A couple of quotes from posters, which will have to do as opposed to me writing a description of everyone:

I'd like the words mysterious, mystical and endowed with supetnatural powers after my name please, AGL. says Bettercallsaul1

MyDressIsInferiorBlue adds:
Get a battery operated rabbit they are less trouble than a man but can still thrust (and always on demand too, unlike a man)

AGL I'd like the words 'hot', 'intellectual' and 'witty' after my name, please. No 'flouncing', 'dunno' or 'Co-Op Boy' (the latter is well and truly over). says ItShouldHaveBeenJess, as well as being quoted telling us:
I'd be happy with a thrust. Just one.

Let the insane posts, photos and pouting begin!

They ruined Polly pocket. The whole point was you could fit her and her little play set in your pocket. Now they are more like small barbie dolls

Barbie looks shit now too

What a terrible experience, Portia. I didn't realise he was as bad as that.

Do you unbongo? - fair enough - white would be approx: my last choice I think!. Probably the thought of keeping it white....I wanted completely black, with blacked out windows at the back. No one could call me pretentious in a super-sensible Volvo.....but it's fast, big and I think it looks great. Which of course it probably doesn't .

Portia - hope one of male family said his name was Karma.

AGL Barbie looks shit? . Does she look any different these days?.

better I think DV&A is far worse than most people imagine. It destroys who you are - that's how they stop you leaving, they chip away at the person were, until your not really a person in your own right anymore. For me it was only him turning on the DC that made me find the strength to leave. Prior to that I suffered some truely awful things, physically and mentally, at his hands.

I'm 1yr post escape and I'm still trying to rebuild who I was before ex. He is still causing problems in my life. I gave up 40-50k equity to try and get him to leave me alone. It still didn't work. His actions since leaving put me in a position where I felt there was no choice but to go to the police. I had to do a video interview with them and talk about things he did, that I didn't, and still don't, want to talk about. So even now it feels like he takes away my choices. Sometimes it feels like I'll never truely be free.

Oh mydress. I am scrabbling around in my inferior brain to try and find something worthwhile to say and I am finding it near bloody impossible. I have deleted numerous sentences for fear of saying something sh1t.

Can I just say you have my complete admiration and respect, for what you have done is show absolute strength, when you must have felt as though you had none - for your children. I think you will find at some point, you have built into a rather amazing new version of yourself. Sending a massive hug - which I know MN frowns upon and I don't care.

peach thank you for your kind words and the hug (I like hugs, so who cares what the rest of MN thinks).

Aw - you are so welcome. 'xactly - I like to be controversial on occasion . Most often after wine in truth...if I am not being intolerably loving instead!!. Brave and inspiring you is.

Getting worried about toad now :(

Blue totally understand, It isn't as easy as oh just ring womens aid as people say on here. Will come back later and tell my story but will say I'm happy now. I was addicted to lorazepam all sorts of crap going on.but now a few years on I'm free.
I'm with you lady I know what it's like.
Gotta finish some work and will be back.
Id quite cheerfully see my ex dead in fact hope he is but haven't seen him or had a penny from him in 5 years or more
Bastard !

I feel like I've led such a sheltered (in a good way) life compared to others.

My heart actually hurts for anyone who has been exposed to shit like that. I admire everyone for coming out the other end though. Such admiration

Xxxxxxx for Blue to a) genuinely give you a big kids b)because it annoys the musket brigade

You ladies are braver than I am because you're prepared to tell your stories. I couldn't leave exFWh because of me. I could only leave on behalf of DD.

And now I feel a sh*t mother because I think I accidentally threw away her passport because she'd left it in a heap of shite by her bin.

being fb fame

So Sorry Portia & Blue I don't have the words.

Now we have two famous members AGL & Being

God Portia im so sorry that happened to you.

Jess. Only swap days if you want to and if you feel ok about it. he has no right to call the shots when he was the one pissing about.

Sounds like he wants to play Disney dad a bit.

What have they done, jet?!?!

I have a food crime to report - wtf have I eaten? ??? I'm dwelling it and I'm smelling it

Meant to be house-working in prep for family tomorrow for DDs birthday.

My presence here tells you my current status

Had MN stories posted on FB better

Thank you, cc. Two celebrities in our thread! Join our thread if you want to be famous!

TMI, Vanilla!

Phew have finished my work now so just have to e- mail the bill.
Well Blue your post resonates so much but you can get through the crap you really can. Only 1 year post escape and you're coping. I'm not too happy with some of the claptrap given out on here as I mentioned. Phone womens aid huh! Yes they will try to help but they're a charity and rely on volunteers. Can't stand the armchair psychology from keyboard twats.
Anyway in my case I was a silly teen and had dd when I was 18 but I loved the man or thought I did. We got married and through inheritance I had enough to put a deposit on this house.
Not long after, my Dad died and that's when the mind control started. Yes I see that now but at the time didn't realise just how controlling he was. Still I gave as good as I got and the arguing started. My Mum told me to leave but oh no I thought he'd change. Loved him and dd so I plodded on while he was trying to chip away at me.
I had a job as a lifeguard which of course is seasonal and Gran looked after dd for me. I was so daft I had a joint bank account with him and so realised how much he was spending. Booze money! Using some of my money for booze! Drunk every evening

Will type somemore in a bit. It's quite hard to put into words really

helena. He's going to rock up reeking of weed with his jeans halfway down his arse! (did I mention he's forty one?)

AGL. Agree with Barbie comment. That last boob job was a step too far.

portia. We loves you. Makes me very sad hearing about you and blue. Great ladies, too much crap. Admire you both muchly.
